The Fisheries Question.

The meeting of the Portland fisher men for
the purpose of expressing views on the COM
plicated matters to come before the Joint
conference at Washington will be held very
soon-before Mr.. Putnam goes back to the
national capital after his return from there
this time. Mr.. Putnam is expected home in
three or four days. The Maine men engaged
in the industry will oppose any overtures
looking toward the discussion of trade and
commercial relations with Canada-that is,
any effort toward reciprocity They are de-
termined on vgilantly guarding the tariff by
which they are already protected; and, as
has been indicated, they would not object to
tariff on fresh fish. They do not believe in
paying Canada anything for the privilege of
her inshore fisheries, even if compare

asked for

and forty cents. Eleven of the men have
families to support this winter. How they
are going to do it don't know. / suppose
they will dig some clans and catch few
Holsters. Then the farmers of North Haven
are generous and will help them out. But
there will be hard times in many a fisher
mans home this winter.
Only one North Haven vessel, of the fleet
Of fifteen, has done anything like a fair
seasons work. The Emma Wixom, Captain
Brown, is 'high line" of the North Haven
mackerel fleet. She got thirty-fve barrels in
the Bay and enough on the shore to enable
the men to share one hundred and fifty dol
lars each. But bless you, this is nothing for
"high line" A few years ago a 'high
line" mackerelman would get twenty-five
hundred barrels and each man would share
three or four hundred dollars for his seasons
work. Now all together the North Haven
vessels have got hardly what one vessel used
to receive in those days.
"Of course, few vessels of the whole
New England feet have had old time luck.
The men of the steamer Novelty, under
stand, share about four hundred dollars each
for their summers work. Some of the
Gloucester schooners did we'll But they are
rare exceptions.
The reason of this i'll luck is that the
mackerel are shy and scarce. There has
been too much fishing them with seines l
don't think we could have done much better,
If at all better, had we been able to fish
within the three mile limit on the Canadian
coast The main difficulty is that there are
no mackerel where we can get at them"
Captain Joyce of the Novelty, who has
done pretty well this season without going
near the Canadian shores, is equally certain
that the privilege of fishing within the three
mile limit would not have made any material
difference in the luck of cur fishermen.
There are plenty of mackerel, Captain Joyce
says, on the English coast; and they may
appear here again as soon as next season.
But for the last three years they have grown
fewer and fewer. and the hope is not very
bright.
In times past many mackerel fishermen
have gone into cod fishing, which is fairly
good. But Captain Joyce says the bounties
paid by foreign governments sadly interfere
with our own business. The government OF
France pays to its fishermen a bounty of two
cents for every pound of goldfish exported
We have duty of half cent pound on
Goldfish; so there is cent and a half in favor
OF the Frenchman after he has paid our
duty. Then the Canadians give a bounty OF
two dollars ton on every vessel engaged in
the cod fishery. Considering that these dis.
advantages come at the end of period Of
free trade in fish, Captain Joyce thinks ouI
present duty on eodfshnot sufficient.
